> agentic AI more or less has to be given documentation in order to be useful, whereas other humans working with you can just talk to you if they need something. ... In theory AI can talk to you too but with current interfaces that's quite painful (and LLMs are notoriously bad at admitting they need help).

Another framing: documentation is talking to the AI, in a world where AI agents won't "admit they need help" but will read documentation. After all, they process documentation fundamentally the same way they process the user's request.
